A North East football story.
Sunderland AFC Women compete in WSL2, the second tier of women’s football in England. They play at Eppleton Colliery Welfare Ground and at the Stadium of Light.
The club continues to bring through quality youngsters from across the North East. Following Bay Collective’s majority investment in April 2026 and a summer of high-profile signings, the Lasses are pushing towards a return to the top division.
Low-price tickets, a welcoming atmosphere and regular pre-match activities make home games an accessible day out for families and first-time supporters.
Lionesses started here.
Sunderland’s system has helped shape some of England’s best-known players—a proud legacy that continues through the next generation.
The matchday keeps going.
Home ticket purchasers can access a free swim at Sunderland Aquatic Centre and Hetton Community Pool on weekends when the Lasses play at home, thanks to Everyone Active.
